I'm not running without the alternator yet. The battery relocation could be completed using the old battery so I decided to go ahead and do that while it's still warm outside. I'll be getting a deep cycle battery within a couple months regardless of whether the current battery dies or not. It's just a matter of spending the money.

I run into this alot at work when the battery has been relocated. Glad you got it sorted out. They make Lugs to connect small gauge wire,Battery Lugs & Crimp Tools, for jobs like this.
The picture is really blurry but I do have 4 gauge copper lugs and a 2 gauge copper lug bolted together onto a plastic tab.
